It was 55°F here today in the Seattle area, but it’s technically spring and summer is just around the corner. But with temperatures like this all I can do is dream about summer, and so dream I will.

I dream about sitting around a sparkling blue oasis while tropical drinks are brought to me – the kind with umbrellas with names like Blue Hawaii. Or maybe I’m sitting on my front porch guzzling down a little Raspberry Long Island Iced Tea while explaining to the kids this is mommy’s special iced tea and they can’t drink it. :)

Either one sounds good to me right now. Summer may not be here yet but I can drink a few of these cocktails and pretend it is!
